GAME BOARD.

"i Application filed October 1'7, 1925. SeralNo. 63,101. i

yT all whom it may concern.'

' Be it known that I, GImrUT'rnta, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tacoma, in the county of Pierce and State of Washington, have invented a new and usefull Game Board, of which the following is a `specification. p

This inventionrelates to game apparatus vand more particularly to vapparatus .for

details of construction hereinafter describedv and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents ak plan view ofa board constructed in accordance with this invention Figure 2 is a detail longitudinal section taken on the line 2 2 of Figure l; and

Figure 3 is apsectionl taken on the line 8 3 of Figure 2 showing the` dice receiving box in elevation. Y y

In the embodiment illustrated a base board l is shown havingan upstanding flange 2 extending around the edges thereof and provided at its corners with overhanging wings or protectors 3 such as are ordinarily used in boards of this character.

Located near one end of the board and'eX- tending upwardly therefrom is a hollow font-like dice f receiving `structure shown with a perpendicular hollowshank or post 5 which merges at its upper end into a bowl- Shaped receiving member 6, the inn-ery face of the member' 6 having'the shoulder -7 formed at the junction of the bowl with the Y inner face of the post or standard 5. -This shoulder 7 is designed for deflecting thedice thrown into the bowl and imparting a rotary motion thereto before they'enter the hollow shank. f., The. lower end of the hollow shank 5Thas any opening 8 in the front wall thereof opposite which is arranged a curved plate 9 arranged in the throat of the shank opposite the opening and which is preferably covered with felt as shown at l0. When ythe dice l1 are dropped-into the bowl 6 they move toward'the opening which communicates with the hollow shank 5 and strike against the shoulder 7 which deflects them and imparts to them. a rotary motion and when they hit the curved member 9 at thel `bottom of the shank the same effect is produced so that when they roll out of the opening 8 onto the board l they assume a` natural position unaffected by any manipulation ofthe player. l V

When dice are rolled in this manner by throwing them into the bowl all'trickery in the handling of the dice is prevented so that each player hasthe same show.

The apparatus isk simple and cheaply con- Y and ay bowl-shaped receiving member car-v` ried by Vthe upper end of the post and'hav-V ing` a central opening' communicating with the interior of the post, said bowl having Y a shoulder at 'its junctionr with the post` whereby the dicey are struck and thorough ,V

tumbling thereofinsured.

In testimonyV that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixed my signajture. Y
